-ircd-hybrid IP/hostname cloaking README:
------------------------------------------------
-$Id$
-
-Copyright (c) 2005 by Alan 'knight-' LeVee of ChatJunkies IRC Network
------------------------------------------------
-
-This README file is designed to cover the aspects of the IP cloaking features
-new to hybrid in the contrib module named ip_cloaking.c. The basis for the IP
-cloaking is to add some level of privacy for local users to have by cloaking, or
-rather masking a part of their hostname with a CRC32 polymorphism hash.
-
-This will make the necessary additions to the source code to allow IP cloaking
-to work as well as adding in a new user mode known as +h. Normally on most IRC
-daemons such as UnrealIRCd or ircu2, IP masking is assigned the user mode +x but
-since we use +x for external operator messages we used +h as the next logical
-step.
-
-Basically the IP cloaking is a proof of concept utilising a CRC32 based salt
-encryption method that UnrealIRCd uses but with some changes and bit stuffing
-and bit shifting. However, before you compile the contrib module, it is
-*strongly* recommended that you modify the
-ip_cloaking.c module and edit the following:
-
-#define KEY
-#define KEY2
-#define KEY3
-
-With different numbers than are present in the provided module. This insures
-that no one can really decipher the secret keys because they'll go on the basis
-that they are stock and not modified. To get proper or good entropy on random
-numbers rather than trying to guess them it is a good idea to use an entropy
-variable or device to grab them. If you have BASH available you can use the
-randomization variable called ${RANDOM} to get your bits. You need at least 3
-secret keys in order for this to work, there is no preset requirement as to how
-many numbers per key is required but it should have at least 4 to 6 numbers on
-each block. If you want to do it easily and you have bash you can do the
-following command in a BASH shell:
-
-$ echo -e "#define KEY  ${RANDOM}\n#define KEY2 ${RANDOM}\n#define KEY3
-${RANDOM}"
-
-You'll get an output similar to this:
-
-#define KEY  935
-#define KEY2 23539
-#define KEY3 22522
-
-Once you run that command you can copy and paste the output into ip_cloaking.c
-and compile the module. However all servers *must* use the same secret keys in
-order for this to work properly or you'll run into problems especially for
-channel bans.
-
-Since you will also need the module m_change.so to go with IP cloaking it is
-best just to cd into the contrib. directory and build all the modules like so:
-
-cd contrib; make install
-
-Then you'll need to edit etc/ircd.conf and add the following lines to the
-modules {} block so you can load the module:
-
-module = "m_change.so";
-module = "ip_cloaking.so";
-
-Please note that *all* servers *must* have these modules loaded or IP cloaking
-will *not* work. Once this is done you can activate the IP cloaking by passing
-the following user mode:
-
-/MODE nickname +h
-
-You should then recieve a message:
-
---- ec6f50f-8f92678.ypwest01.mi.comcast.net :is your visible host
-
-This means that anyone who runs WHOIS on you will receive that as the host
-response. However, if hide_spoof_ips is set to no yourself and IRC operators can
-get your true IP from WHOIS but no one else. Once user mode +h is set however,
-it cannot be unset (ala ircu2). Also as of right now, IP cloaking does not
-support IPv6 users due to the rare use of IPv6 and the difficulty in coding
-support for it. So if an IPv6 user tries to set +h they will get the following
-message:
-
---- *** Sorry, IP cloaking does not support IPv6 users!
-
-If you have any questions please direct them to knight- on irc.chatjunkies.org
-in #cservice as this is not officially supported by the ircd-hybrid team. Thank
-you, and enjoy!
